Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Has Shoulder Surgery, Injured in Loss

Skills are obviously important but a lot of skills and minimal 'sports science' gets beaten by slightly less skills and elite 'sports science'.

It's similar to the saying that 'a good big man beats a good little man'.

A good man with the aid of a wider range of fruit juices beats a good man with limited access to fruit juices.

Yeah, I agree Joshua is on the juice.

I am sceptical as to whether it will get him to the top though.

I do see him losing to Fury.

He could get a different belt perhaps.

the only way to beat AJ is to put him out of range, which Fury or Wilder could potentially do. If you spend time in range, he'll blast straight through you whether you have skills or not.

Well, that is sort of like saying he has a punchers chance.

I think he is a top-5 heavyweight probably, but I don't see him beating Fury.

I think Wlad. would handle him (not that I see that fight in the making).

Wilder-Joshua would be a good match. I lean toward Joshua, as I don't think all that much of Wilder.

I think Joshua beats most heavyweights, but he was pushed in his last fight, and I think he could have stamina issues, which I don't think drinking juice helps.

I could see him losing against a contender, or even journeyman.

He still has things to prove, in my eyes.

Whyte gave a good account but please, not injury excuses again. Actually, most fights boxers fight with injuries of some sort, or get severely injured during the fight. That's why it's called a fight, you can get hurt. Although yes, a severe injury that needs operations is perhaps rare but still, that's the fight game people.

Could you fight at 50% with a separated shoulder? Doubtful. So what, it's a fight. The shoulder issue is obviously why his performance dropped after the 2nd. Did he quit? No. That all you need to know. Geez enough with the whiney feking discounting of facts. Not saying he'd have won w/o the injury. But he did not quit. Wake TF up. Geez.

Takes some balls to carry on fighting and wanting to go out on your shield instead of quitting.

Dig, Liondw???

So when will they will be posting those pre and post MRI Photo's? ....unless it's just b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.

You can hear the trainer/Whyte dialog at a couple of points. What is it with you boxing 'fans' and reality anyway? How hard is your head??

Hope he comes back no later than May - July of next year. He can be in exciting fights in the future.

[Ray*]

but with this shoulder injury it was a CLEAR one and you can probably hear his corner speaking on a REAL injury unlike the other one

Thats the difference here, not some made up excuse to appease the fans.

[Greed.]

He's had shoulder injuries and surgeries before this fight too. There's definitely an issue with it. He couldn't throw a clean straight right, kept on pushing and bending with it.

I hope Dillian makes a full recovery. This is a legit injury, not a faked one like Wladimir or the Gayemaker.

Give me a break! Bare in mind, he gave zero credit to Joshua but has a plethora of excuses, but got knocked the **** out in the 7th. It's not being hard headed, it's being REALISTIC.

FACT! If you want to have a level of credibility with your opinion you better back it up. I would like to see the pre MRI x-rays, which they do in ALL competitive sports to come to a conclusion that there is an injury. It's clean it's simple, it's common sense.

Come on bro, I know your not new to this...

He took a beating in the first, had a good comeback round in the second, and took a beating for much of the rest of the fight, though had a couple moments.

I certainly believe he was injured. Injuries happen a lot in boxing.

I don't think he would have won.

It was a good fight, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

But Joshua deserves full credit for his win (and I didn't find Whyte's comments inflammatory, on that note).

Whyte gave him a good fight, and is a very good prospect, but Joshua would beat him worse in the rematch, I reckon.

bullsheet never heard of injuries like this with ali foreman frazier duran leaonard hearns etc and they fought 15 rounds. these guys are juiced that is why muscles and tendons tear
